What this means in Canada
A co-parenting expense tracker with context — for Canadian parents
A useful Canadian record keeps the parenting arrangement, the observed event and the supporting source on separate layers. Preserve context, note later developments and leave room for contrary facts.
Federal, provincial and territorial family-law rules can interact, and procedure differs across the country. Do not assume that one province's terminology or process applies nationally. A family lawyer in the relevant province or territory can assess the legal use of a focused export.
When sharing is appropriate, use a working copy containing the governing document, a neutral chronology and the decisive originals. Keep the broader private history available for follow-up questions.
A record you can reconstruct later
Keep the cost, receipt, request, and response together.

Add the purchase

Update the balance
Track what was requested, what was repaid, and what remains outstanding.
Common questions
Before you start recording
Casewell helps organize information. It does not decide what is legally relevant or replace advice from a qualified professional.
What expenses can I track?
You can record child-related costs such as school, medical, travel, clothing, activities, and other shared expenses relevant to your arrangements.
Can I show whether an expense was reimbursed?
Yes. Keep the requested amount, response, payment received, and remaining balance with the original expense.
Can I export only expense records?
Yes. Filter the timeline to the relevant expense records and date range before creating a PDF.
